Travelled with family
I arrived around 9PM and there was only 1 person at the check-in counter dealing with an issue with a group of people. I literally had to wait one hour before I could check-in. Several persons (other hotel employees) had stopped by the check-in counter but nobody provided any assistance until it was almost my turn. My check-in went fairly quickly though. The room was very spacious but could be updated, it had a lot of dark wood, which in turn makes the room dark. There was no hot water in the shower and the water from the pipe at the wash basin tasted muddy/moldy. There was a gap at the room door, where you could see sunlight coming through. It appears the door may have been kicked in once, as the door frame by the lock was 'patched up' and I couldn't turn the lock all the way. There was an ironing board in the closet, but no iron. Although it didn't bother me too much, on Saturday night I noticed some loud music coming from another establishment closeby? I don't remember if it was the same on Friday night. Multiple food options are available and there's a pool for those who want to swim.
